The Chicago Bulls have targeted Kevin Love and reportedly made an official offer for Love.

This surprised me.

Kevin Love is apparently not LeBron’s puppet. How do we know this? Because there is no way Gar Forman, the GM of the Chicago Bulls, would make a run at K-Love if he didn’t know he had a chance to a) make the deal work and b) re-sign K-Love to a long-term contract.

They wouldn’t open themselves up to a public beat down, putting all the pieces together to make a deal, unless they knew Love would entertain the possibility of re-signing with them. This is the same rationale I used when determining why LeBron had a good chance of ending up in Cleveland. Why would Dan Gilbert and the entire organization open themselves up to a public flogging — again — if they didn’t have a serious chance of getting LeBron? They wouldn’t. You have to believe that Dan Gilbert knew he had a shot at LeBron; and how did he know? Messages were obviously passed along via the grapevine.

So why are the Bulls making a run at Love when we all believe he’s going to Cleveland? Love must have told Mr. Forman he would re-sign with the Bulls. Communication is a beautiful thing, is it not?

I wonder how LeBron feels about that. Why would Kevin Love tell the Bulls he would re-sign with them when he could go play with LeBron?

Ultimately, I think Kevin Love is going to be a Cavalier. But there doesn’t seem to be as much love for LeBron as I anticipated. Interesting.

Tiger Woods is the Lord of the Headlines

Tiger Woods is still dominating headlines but the golf world has moved on. In terms of production, this is a man that hasn't been relevant in years but whatever he does cameras, microphones and interest follows him like TMZ on Travolta.

Adrian Peterson’s perdition

There's a ton of subterfuge swirling in and around the Adrian Peterson affair. Rumors and innuendo seem to be the currency used to build arguments as to where Minnesota's talented back is headed. So let me add to the speculation:

The curious case of Chris Borland

Good for Chris Borland. He made an immediate decision through a long-term lens and he seems to be at peace walking away from the game he loves and played so vigorously.

Markieff Morris: Do your job

"Do your job," Bill Belichick said, running his harry hands through his greasy hair. "Nobody is responsible for how you play but you…not your mother, not your aunt Edna…do…your…job."

LeBron

Recently, LeBron James tweeted something out that clearly referenced Kevin Love. He implored the social media populace to stop trying to "FIT-OUT" and start trying to "FIT-IN."
